The possibility of Bloomberg getting in is why I said earlier that I sincerely hope you can’t buy the presidency.

Bloomberg is so very unattractive, he couldn’t get much support, but he could perhaps be a Perot (the guy who elected Clinton)

Mitt Romney was quoting directly from the Constitution. Hard to get more conservative than that. Good for him.

He had an excellent rebuttal as well; but then again a Constitutionally based argument is usually a good one.

I was unprepared to embrace any candidate tonight, but I thought Mitt Romney did the best. If he had a good conservative VP pick I might actually support him and not just vote for him while holding my nose.

The way that the MSM continues to form their questions and continues to spin their questions so that however the GOP answers them, the GOP looks bad every time is so aggravating!

Text messaging request by PMSMBC - interesting...Romney is listed as #5... ---Not that I'm into the stuff, but I do know what a few of the numbers are associated with in numerology, and 5 is the number associated with "change" ;-)

What are the odds?

If money could buy the Presidency, we would have had President Nelson Rockefeller in 1964.

Senator Hatch tonight on Hugh Hewitt endorsed Governor Romney because he is a genius on economics = “which is what our country needs right now.”

And that's the ONLY reason Orin supports him [/sarc]

Yep, he said it.

Huck-when asked about his claim that WMD is like easter eggs “just because you don’t find em doesn’t mean they weren’t planted”-said that they probably went to Jordan. I thought he may have misspoke, meaning Syria, but when pressed he said Jordan was an ally but you can’t be sure of what goes on there.

Yes, you do. Many don’t realize that my small multi frame gifs can be triple the size of one large graphic.

I don’t like Huck, but I feel like he would definitely get down and dirty with the Clintons. I don’t think he would hesitate to remind everyone of their criminal past. I’m not sure Romney would do that and that must be done to defeat them.

It’ll be RuPaul in a landslide.

Thanks for the link. I remember being back at the barracks and watching his speeches. We all knew he would fight for us, and he knew we would fight for our country.

Second Amendment voters are not going to back Hillary Clinton against Romney. And nobody with any sense is going to sit the election out.

Given real world choices, we really don’t want a Hillary or an Obama appointing justices to the court system.

"Most of the nation doesn’t even know Mitt Romney. Those polls are meaningless."

Agreed. They know Giuliani, they know McCain, they don't know Romney. They will know him when he becomes the nominee.

The LIBS don't get it...an endorsement by the NYT is a death-knell to winning the Presidency as a Republican.

The irony is in trying to lift up McCain to spite Rudy they are actually complementing Rudy in regards to the electorate in the closed Florida primary. It allows Rudy to say, "I didn't always get along with the NYT because I did what needed to be done and they just wanted the same status quo."
